# What You'll Need:

01 - 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
03 - 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
04 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
05 - 1/4 cup ice water

→ Frangipane

06 - 1/2 cup almond flour
07 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
08 - 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
09 - 1 large egg
10 - 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
11 - 1/4 teaspoon almond extract, optional
12 - Pinch of salt

→ Stone Fruit Filling

13 - 4 cups mixed ripe stone fruits, pitted and sliced
14 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
15 - 1 tablespoon cornstarch
16 - 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

→ Assembly

17 - 1 large egg, beaten for egg wash
18 - 1 tablespoon coarse sugar for sprinkling

# Step-by-step Directions:

01 - In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt. Add cold butter cubes and cut in using a pastry blender or fingertips until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, mixing just until dough comes together. Flatten into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
02 - In a mixing bowl, cream softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, then fold in almond flour, vanilla extract, almond extract, and salt until smooth and well combined.
03 - In a separate bowl, gently toss the sliced stone fruits with granulated sugar, cornstarch, and fresh lemon juice until evenly coated.
04 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. On a lightly floured surface, roll chilled dough into a 12-inch circle and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Spread frangipane evenly over the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Arrange the stone fruits over the frangipane layer.
05 - Fold the pastry edges up and over the filling, pleating as needed to create a rustic appearance. Brush the pastry edges with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
06 - Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the pastry is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling at the edges. Allow to cool slightly before slicing.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • A delightful mix of flaky pastry, creamy almond frangipane, and fresh, summery stone fruits.

02 -
  • Stellen Sie sicher, dass die Butter für den Teig sehr kalt ist, um eine blättrige und zarte Kruste zu erhalten.
  • Vermeiden Sie es, das Teig zu stark zu kneten, damit die Textur leicht und locker bleibt.
  • Beim Falten der Ränder die Fruchtfüllung nicht vollständig bedecken, so bleibt die Saftigkeit sichtbar und der rustikale Look erhalten.
  • Sollte der Saft der Früchte zu stark sein, sorgt die Zugabe von Maisstärke für die richtige Bindung.
  • Bereiten Sie die Frangipane und den Teig am Vorabend zu, damit Sie am Backtag schnell und ohne Eile backen können.
